My students are talking too much in class. How should I deal with them?


KSMarksPsych,

Duct tape their mouths shut and tie their wrists behind their backs then secure their tied wrists to their desk chairs... Then you will have a well behaved, and quiet classroom... ;-D 8-D

A rather large alligator is swimming around my boat, but it's a hot day and I really want to swim. Any suggestions?



Put Tracey Enemin, the artist, in the pool to attract the alligator. While she is being sorted out by the reptile you can safely have a swim.

The positive side is that when you have finished, you can fish Tracey out and bring her to the UK as an entry for the Turner Prize. If you win the art (Tracey) goes on exhibition in the Tate Modern for months and you collect a £20,000 prize (about $37,800).


I have some pet Amazon Pirahnna fish in my bath, near the toilet, and I am desperate for a crap.What should I do?

Octagon,

If your boat has a motor:

1.) Make sure that the motor is out of the water.
2.) Attach a wire to the #1 Spark plug.
(If there is only 1 Plug, then just attach the wire to that.)
3.) Strip the other end of the wire so that some of the metal is exposed.
4.) Start the motor, again keeping it out of the water.
5.) When you see the gator near your boat, drop the exposed end of the wire
into the water and let your motor run for 30 seconds or so...
6.) When the gator stops moving, turn off your motor and pull the wire out of
the water and remove the other end from your spark plug.
7.) Swim care free... ;-D 8-D

Does this work???


but you should have mentioned that you had these cattle prods... That makes things even easier!

1.) Wait for gator to come close to boat.
2.) Wearing an insulated glove and with cattle prod on,
dip the "business end" of the cattle prod into the water.
3.) Your new pet gator, now stunned, is safe to be around...
4.) Remove cattle prod from water.
5.) Have yourself a good swim...

John,

Get a cattle prod from Octagon and a well insulated glove:

1.) Wearing the well insulated glove, turn on the cattle prod.
2.) Dip the "business end" of the cattle prod into the tub.
3.) Remove cattle prod from water.
4.) Take care of "your business"
5.) If those fish are strong, they should come out of their little daze soon...

Yes?

My Pug needs a bath...what should i do?



Mike,

Drop him into the aforementioned Acid Pool over at Chris-(/Chris 2/ID: 8401595)'s place... That is guaranteed to remove all fleas, ticks, matted fur, and just about everything else - including bad breath... ;-D

8-D


LOL...


My neighbor sells drugs...what should I do?


Mike,

Drop your neighbor into the aforementioned Acid Pool over at Chris-(/Chris 2/ID: 8401595)'s place... (LOL is this getting really really old now, or what???)

Keep the drugs for yourself, (if you're into that sortof thing...), or drop the drugs in with your neighbor... Maybe the drugs will help numb the pain of the pool... (Again, is this Acid Bath thing getting too old now, or what???)

LOL

=====================================================

Again, reasonable??? ;-D

I have always thought the advice here was very very reasonable and applicable.

Work! Work your arse off. At the end of your life the thing that counts most is how much money you have!

Gotta be worth a try, and would give an certain unexpected leverage in neighborhood disputes over everything from parking places and noise levels to school tax rates.

Of course there are. And vampires and ghosts and all those other scary creatures. But don't worry, they only come out at night. So keep a bright light on 24/7/365 and you'll be fine. Oh yes, and don't go to sleep either.

Post your bank details on every form of media available and it should reach home eventually.

(PS: but the cost of doing so would make the entire excercise totally pointless so just put all your money in the form of a cashiers cheque to me, all donations gratefully recieved :-D).

How do I get to the moon for £1 (or about $1.80c)?

Stow away in the wheel well of a space shuttle. When you get to the space station, jump towards the moon - really, you should make it. Oh, yes, to save weight, leave the space suit home.
